i used to have a macbook that took 6 minutes to open ableton, tried everything. only thing that fixed it was a macbook reformat.

on an ableton 10 note, the ability to edit multiple midi tracks on the same piano roll would be so incredibly useful to me. not really got any money atm though so il wait it out for a few months i think.

I wish they would add a trigger mode to the envelopes of simpler. For those not familiar it basically makes the envelope function as a 2 stage attack decay envelope. Most of the other devices have them.

It’s great for drum sounds.

Workaround is mapping decay and release to the same macro and turning sustain to zero, but after a few years of that it’s getting old.

Have they improved audio editing in arrange view yet? I've been back on Pro Tools for the past 18 months on a daily basis for work and I'd forgotten what a fucking dream it is to edit and handle audio in Pro Tools and what a fucking ballache it is in Ableton. Are shortcuts still locked and uneditable?

Neither and both ! Ableton itself is on my main drive of which I've an SSHD (hybrid spinning drive with frequently accessed files (eg. the OS) getting automagically moved to the SSD partition) but I've migrated the Factory Packs to an external USB3.0 spinning drive as was running low on disk space ....

Well it's definitely tied to the size of your Ableton installation. An SSD will definitely help, but probably it will still take some time to open it up if Ableton needs to process the stuff somehow (can't imagine why though).

having those factory packs on an external USB drive will likely be a massive bottleneck for you man. Even if you had an SSD in a USB3 enclosure, it'd still likely be pretty damn slow :(
